IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that in ALL of these situations, it is mandatory for students to contact their subject teacher in order to arrange for your tests or test passwords to be sent either to a testing site or a test supervisor.
If you book a test and are a no show or have not made proper arrangements with your NIDES teacher, you will be charged for the testing time by the test center.
Writing Tests
If you are a student enrolled in the Grade 8-12 Program at NIDES, it is likely you will be asked to write a test for your course. It is important to note that each course has different expectations, so please contact your teacher when you are getting close to writing your first test to make sure you know what the expectations are.
For local students (Comox Valley and surrounding areas) there are a few locations that you can access to write a test.

| G.P Vanier Secondary | 4830 Headquarters Road | Amber.McLeod@sd71.bc.ca |

| Mark R. Isfeld Secondary | 1551 Lerwick Road | Heather.Beckett@sd71.bc.ca / Christine.Watt@sd71.bc.ca |
For students located in other areas of the Vancouver Island and Vancouver areas, there are two options available for you to write your tests:
- You can write at one of our approved testing centers as listed below
- You can find a teacher either in your current school or in the community who would be willing to supervise your tests. Please have them complete a test supervisor form. There are restrictions on who is eligible to supervise a test for a student so please read the test supervisor form carefully for details.

Other areas
For students living in an area where they cannot access one of our testing centers, there is the option of finding your own test supervisor at your local school or community college. Have the individual complete a test supervisor form and they must meet the requirements outlined on the test supervisor form and email it to navigateexams@sd71.bc.ca.
